Verse 1 -
C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song

Am
I remember like we were alive

C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls

Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights

C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her

Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws

C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew

Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus- Guitar 1
F                      G
     My heart's like a wound
Chorus-
      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life

Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Verse 2 -
        C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life

       Am
Better safe than making the party

      C
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,

     Am
With papers and poetry about Estella
Prechorus 2- Guitar 1
F                    G                   F             G
     With great expectations, we had the greatest expectations
Chorus-
      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Bridge Chorus-
      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
